What guests think

At WoodSpring Suites Chicago Darien, reviews highlight budget-friendly stays with spacious, kitchenette-equipped rooms but also frequent maintenance problems, including elevator outages, limited housekeeping and supplies, and strong hallway odors from smoke or marijuana.

Service feedback is mixed, with friendly staff noted alongside absent or limited front-desk coverage, slow or delayed check-ins, overbooking incidents, and extra charges for towels, linens, or kitchenware. The location is near major roads and Argonne National Lab, which some found convenient, though highway noise and limited nearby transport options were reported. Overall, expect a basic extended-stay experience where price is the main draw and reliability of amenities and support can vary.

There was a bug on the stove. The elevator quit working while we were there and in the elevator. They charge extra for towels and bedding. They also charge extra for dishware and cookware.

This place is trash...entire place smells like weed. You have people living there. One regular that lives there warned me where to park saying cars are getting broken into in the parking lot. No soaps/shampoo in the room. Dirty wet towels. The website says there is a pool. There isnt a pool (only reason I booked). Walls are paper thin. The hotel is right off the highway and it felt like we were actually in the traffic. Blinds to the room were broken letting a bunch of light in. Very very sketchy place. Cannot stress enough how trashy this place is. Felt I was catfished from the pictures online. Terrible experience. I canceled my reservation for the rest of the weekend and booked somewhere else. I wouldn't stay here again if it was free. Cannot stress enough how trashy it is.

I’m going to preface this by saying I travel a lot and I’ve had better service in middle of nowhere Ohio than here. The main door to the hotel has a “trick” to getting it open. They don’t allow early check in which is understandable but then my room was not ready for another hour after the 3pm check in time so I had to sit in the hallway and wait. The elevator stopped working after a night and I was on the 3rd floor. I had to walk up stairs after work with my hands full. They claim they have a gym but it’s just a room with 2 broken exercise machines and a SINGLE 5lb dumbell set. The bed is the most uncomfortable I’ve been ever and they only give you two very flat pillows. Worst stay ever.

extended stay hotel which is located off the fwy but the rooms smelled gross and the beds were very hard. also they don't give you extra towels, you either have to pay to wash them or do an exchange for 3 bucks a towel!! not to mention that both nights we were there, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and fire dept made us go outside for nothing! If you're looking for a nice hotel, this IS NOT IT!

The room door was propped open when we got to our room. There was a cartoon of eggs and ranch dressing sitting on top of the fridge. Also, there was no soap or shampoo in the room. A good place to stay for a night but I wouldn’t recommend staying there for much longer. The hotel room smelled but it was fine because we only booked the room so we would have a place to sleep

The lobby smelt like a blunt. I was getting on the elevator and this man was creeping me out asking where was I from, what was my name, etc…and when the elevator doors opened on my floor three of his buddies was in the corridor in front of the elevator. I finally found my room and turned on the light and there were several bugs crawling on the bed and arm chair in the room. I immediately left. I waited for the front desk person to return for over 20 minutes however I ended up staying elsewhere.

They said they left me a message the Wednesday before. I didn’t see it. Arrived at the property and was told I didn’t have a room. So I had to sleep in my car because they were overbooked. I’m too old to be doing that. Ruined the trip.

Terrible. We arrived slightly after check-in time and were told they didn’t have any rooms available, even though we booked over a week in advance. I’ll never use this service again. To their credit, they did suggest another WoodSpring hotel in Downers Grove that was nearly completed. They gave me the phone number to that, I called and booked one of the last rooms there. Cost was about $30 higher.

The front desk staff was friendly but were not helpful or did not keep their words. They clean the room only once or twice a week. We had to throw the traskh out ourselves. This a property built in 2016 but the rooms are not well maintained. If you are running a hotel start giving service and stop adding money to guest bills if they are asking you for small things like toiketeried or puts and pans.
